Our accident lawyers are committed to pursuing your rights if you or a family member are injured or killed by the needless violation of safety rules by others.

We all follow the safety rules of society and various professions. Including, the rules of the road we were all taught as teenagers when we learned to drive; for surgeons, knowing what they are cutting before they cut it; for businesses, making products that are reasonably safe for the everyone; for businesses and landowners, keeping their property safe for visitors and tenants.     

The goal of our law office: To promote human safety through enforcement of the safety rules we all live by every day. We enforce those rules in the courtroom using the civil jury system, every Americans' 7th Amendment Right.

We have successfully handled all types of Missouri and Illinois injury and wrongful death lawsuits including, but not limited to:

Personal Injury:

Personal injury claims and lawsuits occur when individuals in the community are hurt or killed by negligent, careless, or even intentional acts of other people; or injured by dangerous or defective products. When someone is legally responsible for injuring another individual, our accident lawyers will make them pay the injured client through a settlement or verdict for compensatory damages, generally this payment is made by the Defendant's insurance company. Most of us have insurance to cover us if we are ever careless and injure someone. For example, most of us have car insurance for injuries on the road, we have homeowners' or renters' insurance to cover general negligence, and commercial or business insurance to cover injuries at stores  or work.

Car Accidents:

Every time a driver gets behind the wheel of a car, they are required to follow the rules of the road. We have all learned the rules of the road whether we were taught to drive by our parents or through a formal class. Our accident lawyers' philosophy is straight forward: the rules of the road are simple, a driver must not needlessly endanger others. A driver needlessly endangers others when they drive drunk, drive distracted, run a red light or stop sign, fail to yield, drive too fast, etc ... Any action that needlessly endangers others violates the rules of the road and subjects that person, through their insurance, to civil liability.

One of the most egregious and obvious violations of the rules of the road is drunk driving. Our Missouri accident lawyers focus on drunk driving cases and have successfully obtained large judgments and settlements for the victims of drunk drivers and those victims' families. A new epidemic is also raising awareness across the country, "texting and driving". Studies have shown that texting and driving can be even more dangerous than drunk driving. so do not drive "InTEXTicated"!

Every time a driver gets behind the wheel of a car, he or she is accepting responsibility for the safety of everyone else on the road. Car collisions can and do happen. But if a driver's negligent, reckless, or careless behavior lead to the needless injury or death of another person, that driver must be held accountable.

Wrongful Death:

Wrongful death refers to any death that has been caused by negligence, recklessness, or the fault of another. For example, deaths caused by car accidents, a defective product, or surgical mistakes or medical errors that eventually cause death may be considered under the law as "wrongful death".  Wrongful death claims may be pursued by certain relatives of the victim, call us to discuss who may have the legal right to pursue a death claim. 

Medical Malpractice:

Medical negligence claims result when a patient is injured or dies because of the negligent, careless, or intentional acts of a doctor, nurse or other healthcare provider. These commonly involve medical accidents or errors, injuries at birth, surgical mistakes, pharmacy medication errors, misdiagnosis, misread tests or X-rays, adverse drug reactions, and medical implant or device failure.  It is important to emphasis, that the healthcare provider did not simply "fail" do do something, they "chose" to not double check their work, chose not to be certain of the anatomy before making a cut with their scalpel, or chose not to be diligent in their care.   

Product Liability:

Products liability is part of injury law that focuses on dangerous and defective products. Our injury firm represents injured victims in cases against corporations that have sold or manufactured unsafe products that caused an injury or death.


Our Missouri & Illinois injury lawyers are proud to offer our clients years of personal injury litigation experience. Our total approach consists on not only providing you with the best legal representation, but also advising and assisting you with getting the proper medical care and treatment for your injuries. Generally injured victims go to the emergency room and then follow up with their family doctor or a specialist who supervises their care and refers them to any needed specialists. However, some people do not have those contacts and may not even have health insurance or access to doctors. We can help! We have a network of doctors and specialists that will treat people with or without insurance and if necessary delay payment for their services until after the personal injury claim or lawsuit has been settled.

The size of our injury law firm and the achievements and experience of our lawyers and staff enable us to offer each of our clients a high level of personal commitment and personalized consideration. Your case is handled by one of the lawyers you hire, it is not passed off to a paralegal for handling and when you call our firm you will talk to the lawyer handling your case.

Our law firm is "paperless" meaning we keep most records electronically on a secure server with encrypted offsite and daily backup. This means faster access to files and easier communication and sharing of documents with our clients.

Our law firm is located in Clayton, Missouri and we frequently represent injured victims in St Louis county as well as Jefferson County, Franklin County, St Charles County, St Francois County, Iron County, Cape County, Scott County, Warren County, Ralls County, Callaway County, Lincoln County, as well as St Clair County Illinois, and Madison County Illinois.
